The gangsters stopped and turned around to look in the direction of the voice.Elroy’s gaze landed on Adrian and he was instantly furious when he realized that Vivus Clothing’s people had called for reinforcements.He said angrily, “Who the f*ck are you? How dare you meddle in my business! Did you not hear that this is my territory?!”“Here comes another one who wants to get himself killed.”“There are just so many people wanting to die these days.”“Mr. Elroy, why are there so many deadbeats in this world?”Elroy’s subordinates walked over with their eyes narrowed and their hands fiddling with their clubs. They assumed the mannerism of men with high morality and heroic spirit.These gangsters enjoyed bullying the weak and feared the powerful. They had never suffered any major blowback so they had always assumed that everyone who was not a big shot would fear them.They had strength in numbers and the power to destroy everything.Elroy became even more arrogant with his subord

Elroy’s arm was severed from his shoulder.Everyone was startled because no one could predict Adrian’s next move.Out of shock, Elroy’s subordinates froze. They placed their clubs on the ground and were at a loss for what to do.Elroy’s howl rang throughout the factory and he was almost in tears. He never expected to lose an arm because of this. Arms were the most important part of the body and one would be a cripple if one were to lose an arm. Even if he were to beat up all these people here, he would not get his arm back.It was a great mistake made in a moment of weakness.Elroy had never encountered someone who would dismember an arm without any discussion. He had never come across someone like this before in his life.Meanwhile, the arrogant expression on his face had vanished and in its place was fear, confusion, and agony.“My arm, my arm!” Elroy burst into tears and wailed at the top of his lungs as he held his shoulder.His subordinates began to back away and witnessed

“I only smashed a couple of machines. Moreover, the machines still work so nineteen thousand dollars is already quite a lot of money,” Elroy said anxiously.“It’s one million and five hundred thousand dollars now,” Adrian announced.“One million and five hundred thousand?”Elroy was crying. He had not even made one million in profit after opening his factory for so many years, and now this man was asking for one million five hundred in compensation? He figured he would not scrape together that much money even after he sold the factory.He burst into tears for real this time. He never expected to get himself into trouble today. Moreover, he was in deep trouble.Elroy said anxiously, “I’m sorry, my friend. I’m at fault for not recognizing your mightiness. Let’s talk about the compensation another day, okay? Please let me get to the hospital first!”Adrian chuckled. “I’ve always been very strict in the way I do things. Either I get the money or I’ll break that other arm of yours. Ei

Soon, these people left, and calmness returned to the factory.Vivian, Reiss, Joanna, and the others were shocked by Adrian’s mercilessness. In fact, they even wondered if he was the Adrian they knew. However, when they thought about it from another angle, they figured that there was a price for everything.And this was Elroy’s price for what he did.They thought about it and figured that Elroy’s gang would not have the courage to bully others and assume they were unparalleled from now on.“Whoa, that was scary!” Joanna felt relieved after Elroy and the others were gone. She patted her chest gently. She was scared out of her wits earlier.Everybody else was relieved too.Reiss said, “You did a good job, Adrian. I’m sure Elroy will remember this lesson for the rest of his life. He might even have nightmares of you from now on.”She had witnessed Adrian’s method before and knew that her brother had probably experienced the same thing as Elroy before his passing. If Adrian had not

Adrian considered for a moment and said, “You’ve set your bar too high. There are many good men in Swallowston, you know? You can find someone and settle down. After that, you can have a child. You can have it all too.”“Get out of here!” Joanna glared at Adrian. “What do you know? The greatest happiness in a woman’s life is to have a child with her lover. I can’t just stoop so low and get pregnant with just anybody, right?”Adrian said, “Fine. What’s your type then? I’ll set you up on a date another day.”“Someone like you,” Joanna said bluntly.“Like me?”“Yes!”Joanna giggled and said, “First, the person has to look as handsome and domineering as you. In truth, the definition of handsome according to most women is not based upon the man’s good looks but it’s the man’s masculine presence.”Adrian answered, “Ah, I see. Go on…”Joanna narrowed her eyes and sank into deep thought. “Second, the man will need to have abs and some scars, just like you. Also, he has to know how to p

Patrick recognized Joanna at one glance.Even though she was concealing her face, she could not hide from her father.Joanna inhaled a deep breath and sat upright. She glanced at Patrick and said nonchalantly, “What are you doing here?”Patrick frowned. He looked at Adrian, then looked back at Joanna. He appeared to be a little angry and berated, “Joanna, you’re the heiress of an influential family but look at you now. Are you conducting yourself in a proper manner?”It was only normal for Patrick to be furious after finding his daughter with a man.Upon hearing this, Joanna refuted, “How am I being improper? What’s wrong with what I’m doing? What have I done to disgrace you? Or have I ruined your reputation?”“Who is this person? Are you dating him?” Patrick pointed at Adrian. He then said, “Joanna, I don’t care what you’ve been doing out here but you have to come back to Northrive with me this instant. Your marriage date has already been set so you will come home and get marrie

Patrick instantly flew into a great rage when he saw Joanna being hugged by a man.He shouted, “Get him!”A few bodyguards got out of Patrick’s car and surrounded Adrian’s.Patrick said, “Boy, how dare you challenge my limits. I’m going to break both your legs today and then put you in jail!”Adrian chuckled and said, “Your daughter consented to this and you can’t stop it. Also, as a father, you have the right to an opinion in your daughter’s marriage but the final choice is not up to you.“I recommend you leave and figure out a way to fix your relationship with Jojo. Give up on the idea of arranging a marriage for her just so you can help your illegitimate son..”Patrick wanted to arrange a marriage for Joanna so that the DuPont family’s influence would grow.The DuPont family would be handed over to his illegitimate son, Jimmy, in the future. Now, his illegitimate son had already been recognized as a member of the family and had moved into the family home after Joanna’s mother
Chapter 487
Joanna burst into tears of fear after being shouted at.Or, one should say that she was crying from anxiety. On one hand, Patrick was her father, and on the other, Adrian wanted to protect her.She was at a loss for what to do.Joanna said to Patrick with tearful eyes, “I’m begging you, Father. Please treat me like a human being. Mother has already passed away and my situation is already pitiful enough. Just go home and live your life with your new wife in peace. Why do you insist on me going with you?”Patrick had already made the announcement and set a marriage date for Joanna. He was here to take her home so she could get married. He would be humiliated if his daughter refused to return with him.Joanna’s tears did not affect Patrick. In his opinion, he was saving his daughter, albeit he had his ulterior motive.“I will say this one last time. Come to me now or I’ll show you how your boyfriend will be beaten up until all his limbs are broken,” Patrick said through his clenched
